That’s not entirely true. We got the first execution because the Mutant claimed Mutant while under the influence of a Minstrel (we made them mad as a different Outsider to eliminate the possibility of getting around it sneakily). That was great play.
Then we, uh, used our ability on one of our buddies to go “wink wink nudge nudge here’s what you should fakeclaim and if it falls through you can just cite madness” and. They. Accidentally broke madness because I asked them a question in whispers and they answered it.
Despite being unintentional, their execution arguably won us the game, because it delayed the execution of the people we were hard framing and generally let us build our fake world better. There were many accidents that helped us lock down that game.
We also actually held our ability a night (not allowed by BotC rules but accidentally allowed via loophole [we just didn’t submit an action] by the GMs), which let us claim that the Cerenovus was already executed (something that also helped lock down the game, as that assumption let us completely “disprove” that we could be evil), and on the last day we used it on our dead buddy to have a “GMs let us win” Hail Mary. They didn’t let us use it.
